It's been a long road ..

Shan

And it ends here for me.

Words are supposed to be my specialty but today they do not come easily.
I will keep it brief

It has been a honor and a privilege to be part of this adventure with you all.
I am very proud of this community, ups and downs included.

Thank you for all the support, for me personnally, as well as for the rest of the team, and the game of course.

My request would be for you to continue being mindful, here and everywhere else.

Star Trek offers us a vision of how better the world could be, it is a worthy goal that each and everyone of us can work towards.

If nothing else, be kind

I leave you in the capable hands of Wrg_Ben, don't let it go to his head.

With gratitude,

~Shan

Wow. Sorry to hear it. I wish you the best.

Thank you for everything you've done Shan, good luck with your next adventures! 🖖

Oh, this is bad news. I wish you good luck.

Travis S McClain

I have appreciated your patience, your kindness, and the tone you set on this forum all these years. Thanks for setting a good example. Live long and prosper, Shan.

Zombie Squirrel

This is a very sad day, for the forums, the players and for the game. 😔

Bylo Band

Unacceptable.

EnderW

Shan, I have been consistently amazed at how you have herded the cats around here, both on these forums and in the game. I'm sad to see you go but I hope it's on to bigger and better things. Good luck!

AviTrek

Good luck with everything.

The game is five card stud, nothing wild, and the sky's the limit.

This Sisko1

Unfortunate but I hope things work out!

Frank?

Wow.

Caught me off guard and now I can't do my normal rambling.

For 8 years now, predating Timelines and going back to the original GoTA days, your work has been a part of the community I enjoyed. Good and bad times, tough and happy, your name and calm approach to hard situations were always the lead others could try and follow. Through company growth, studio and IP expansion, downsizing, loss, mergers, pivots, game closures, and pandemics, your name has been a constant for players, employees and industry outsiders.

I do wish you could have attended one of the meet & greets I was at so I could harass you a bit and give Nod, Elicia, Khatie & Becca a break But in seriousness, I had the privilege of meeting about 20 of your various coworkers over the years, from Jon Radoff down to Tyler (ha!)....every single person without prompt would talk about how awesome you are and good to work with.

I'm sad to see you leave our community - but hopeful for your future endeavors. May your horse ride steady to the next adventure.
All the best.

And for old times sake, I leave you with this.

cmdrworf

It definitely won't be the same around here now..... I don't know how @WRG Ben will keep up with us the way you did.

=j= Ulysses Winters

Allow us to send you off with our best wishes. Thanks for being a great go-between and source of intel (and common sense)!

*Nomad* {PoF}

You will be missed, safe voyages....

Thurthorad

Change is inevitable. Also a central theme of the TOS Star Trek movies. I hope that this change is something you want and is a positive change. You will be missed.

Gandozer {SoS}

We don’t get a 2 week notice? I don’t think there are enough words to express how most of us feel about you. CS will not be the same without you. I hope your new venture leads to a happy and prosperous future for you.

P.S. Does this mean if we ever meet I don’t owe you the dinner and drinks?

Be well and I will miss your wit and forum presence. I sent in a ticket

General Mortars

Oh wow... This is bad news for us, but I certainly hope it's good news for you.
We'll somehow manage without you, but we won't forget you.

[IPA] Markas

Frankly, I don't know how you have tolerated the lot of us for so long, Shan. Thank you for being a calm voice and player advocate for these last years. May all of your future endeavors be as successful as this one has been.

You shall be missed.

Veterinary Phlox

You have been a fantastic and engaging community manager, and the game won't be the same without you. As with the others here, wishing you the best in your next endeavor.

Gandozer {SoS}

And we are sorry truly sorry for the gray hairs some of us has caused you 😆

Chris [VSA]

Best of luck, Shan!

Probably the same way that Jadzia was able to tolerate that lot of Ferengi. Or are we worse...?

~peregrine~

I just want to say thank you for everything you have done on behalf of our community. I might not have always agreed with you, but I damn sure respected you. World class & always professional.

Shy Khan

Well done, Shan. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Mirror McCoy

Oh Shan!

You will be sorely missed.

I wish you the best of luck for whatever your future holds.

In acknowledgment of all that you have done both seen and unseen within the Timelines multiverse. The Conclave of the Vulcan Science Academy award you the status of full graduate and alumni of the VSA.
We are in no doubt that whatever path you follow next you will be successful.

Live Long and Prosper.

Smiley Wireless

Best wishes to you Shan. I fear you'll be hard to replace.

Mirror Cartman

Gonna miss you.

But don't worry, we have your replicator clone.
